On that Friday I was still in Namibia with Dawn for the Tech holidays. We woke up at 8, had a shower and joined my parents for breakfast in our hotel. We had an omelette with mushrooms, tomatoes, cheese, bacon, a slice of toast and coffee. It was about quarter to 10 when we excused ourselves and went to see the lady in charge of the Laundry of the hotel.

We went to see her about our costumes for the Maskenball (german for Masked Ball), which is part of the German Carnival that happens every year. We had decided to go as Ghosts, so we asked for old hotel duvet covers (because they were white) and cut holes into to it to be able to see and drink through it. We then went back up to our room to cut the duvet cover shorter, makes holes for our arms and eyes.
The event started around 19:30 but we go there around 21:00. Upon our arrival everyone was already partying up a storm, and the bar was packed with thirsty dancers. Everyone dressed up in very interesting characters, from a terrorist to a school girl, from Micheal Jackson to the Mad Hatter. Once the Maskenball started dying down we left for the club, Gruniz, where we ended up at until 2am the next morning.

Both Dawn and I swayed home side-by-side with our costume in our hands. It was Dawns first visit to Namibia, Swakopmund, and after the eventful night I’m sure that will not be her last. When we got home, we washed our faces, looked at the photo’s we took, laughed and eventually fall asleep.
